This cover from the 1972’s song is a tribute to the late great David Bowie who was major inspiration for Amanda while she was growing up.
Amanda has also stated that she wanted to include the track on her 2011 album I… Amanda Lepore, but she was never able to work it in. It wasn’t until after Bowie...
Small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers
Ate all the razors while pulling the waiters
Talking about Monroe and walking on Snow White
New York's a go-go, and everything taste nice
Poor little Greenie
Oooh
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go whoa
Sits like a man, but he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him, but just for a short while
She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
Keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little Greenie
Oooh
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go whoa
So simple minded, he can't drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in a capsule
Loves to be loved
Loves to be loved
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go whoa
Go...
Go, go...
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go whoa
Go...
Go, go...
